I am only an intern now, but I can tell you that cervical TCT examination is just like gynecological examination. You lie there and open your vagina with a duckbill. If you take secretions for testing, you can take a little around the cervix with a cotton swab. What about this TCT? It collects cells around the cervix in a similar way. You use a coat with toothbrush hair and rotate it around the cervix twice to collect it completely.
The purpose of this examination is actually to exclude cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. According to the cell morphology, we can know the development trend of the disease. Whether it develops in a bad direction can effectively reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
This inspection is about 180 yuan, and the results will be available one week after the report.
